Subject: [PATCH 5.14 753/849] Revert "drm/imx: Annotate dma-fence critical section in commit path"

From: Fabio Estevam <festevam@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 14d9a37c952588930d7226953359fea3ab956d39 ]

This reverts commit f4b34faa08428d813fc3629f882c503487f94a12.

Since commit f4b34faa0842 ("drm/imx: Annotate dma-fence critical section in
commit path") the following possible circular dependency is detected:

[    5.001811] ======================================================
[    5.001817] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
[    5.001824] 5.14.9-01225-g45da36cc6fcc-dirty #1 Tainted: G        W
[    5.001833] ------------------------------------------------------
[    5.001838] kworker/u8:0/7 is trying to acquire lock:
[    5.001848] c1752080 (regulator_list_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: regulator_lock_dependent+0x40/0x294
[    5.001903]
[    5.001903] but task is already holding lock:
[    5.001909] c176df78 (dma_fence_map){++++}-{0:0}, at: imx_drm_atomic_commit_tail+0x10/0x160
[    5.001957]
[    5.001957] which lock already depends on the new lock.
...

Revert it for now.

Tested on a imx6q-sabresd.
